I don't know enough about this in general to comment properly but I do struggle to see the benefit in U23 football, full stop. 21-22 year olds in most sports should be showing they've got what it takes to go on to have long term careers. If they aren't doing it by then the chances are they never will.

Yes but that is not the problem. The problem is having somewhere for our 18 year olds to go to develop further. An U23 squad provides that, and perhaps by the time they are 21-22 they can develop and be in the first team squad.
 
Yup, but our approach is to fire them out on loan. Is that any worse? We've seen several examples here on loan of reputedly talented players whoyve come out of that level of football and simply aren't ready for the championship.

I'm assuming this is in response to my posts, yes it is worse. Why? because we often find it difficult to get decent loans for them, and have no control on how they develop (see Hudson at Bury) In my view it would be better to develop them at PNE and perhaps get loans for them when they have shown some progress.

My memory is terrible
Have we had any recent or maybe not so recent players who’ve been loaned out that have returned and hit the mark ?

Is your definition of a leftie someone who freeloads on the back of others paying for them?
 
This thread is a classic , it’s like reading a WhatsApp’s group full of hookers and philosophy students 🍪
 
Peter Ridsdale made a different statement yesterday.
I was down at Deepdale yesterday morning Friday 14th August to say a last farewell to one of our brother life long supporters and fan, Ian Robinson, who very sadly passed away aged 59. The cortege was due to make a last visit to Deepdale for Ian on the way to the crematorium and there was a good crowd of Ian's friends and workmates there to pay respects. Peter Ridsdale and the office staff of PNE also came out to pay there respects and when I commented to them that was a very nice gesture for one of our brother supporters he replied 'it's the least we can do'.
So you see, he's just human like the rest of us.
RIP and God bless you Ian!

So sad about Ian. As we know he lost his wife a good few years ago and made the most fantastic job of bringing the children up
Such a gentle and kind man who never had a bad word to say about anyone
Going to miss you Ian. God bless and rest in peace
